Overview
The Rose Task Manager add-on provides an ideal way to manage your own tasks and those of your team.

 * GForm for submitting task requests
 * Scheduling of regular or on-off tasks using the Google Calendar
 * Email notifications of new task listings or status updates
 * Customised email templates using GMail drafts
 * Supports customisation of GForm and task list GSheet
 * Automatically completes task start and end time in the task list on status updates
 * Progress "Log" tab
 
<< Usage >>

< Submit a new task >

Open the task request form (Form > Go to live form) and submit a task. You'll see the task listed in the "Task List" tab and the user and the list admin/owner will receive an email notification.

A link to the request form can be shared with your team or organisation to allow them to submit task requests, or simply bookmark it for yourself to use.

 < Set up a scheduled task >

Open the Rose Task Manager calendar and add events you would like to schedule to appear on the task list sheet. Event length is ignored, so just make a full day event

Every day the calendar is automatically checked (4am GMT), that day's tasks appear on the task list and you'll receive an email notification.

The RTM calendar is produced alongside the default calendar provided by your Google account, see the Google support pages for more information on creating events and managing multiple calendars.

The name of the calendar can be changed.

The calendar can be manually checked at any time using "Add-ons > Rose Task Manager > Check calendar for tasks".

 < Customise an email notification >

Create a draft email to use as an email template, using placeholders of the form "{{PLACE_HOLDER}}", where PLACE_HOLDER is header of the column to take a value from.

For example, say you wanted the task "Description" to be included in the email the placeholder would be "{{Description}}".

Open the settings sidebar - "Add-ons > Rose Task Manager > Settings" - and select the draft email from the "New Task" dropdown list.

Any "new task" email notifications will now use this template.

The "Status Update" email notifications can be similarly customised.

 < Send a "Status update" email >

Click on any cell in a row in the task list and then "Add-ons > Rose Task Manager > Send Status email".

 << Installation creates: >>

 * A new sheet called "Task List". DO NOT RENAME THIS SHEET.
 * A new sheet called "Fields" that is used for validating the Priority and Status values. DO NOT RENAME THIS SHEET.
 * A Google Form (Form > Go to live form) for entering tasks into the task list.
 * Task email notifications. Submitting a task via the task request form sends an email notification to the user and the owner of the task list.
 * A Google Calendar called "Rose Task Manager". The calendar can be renamed.
 
 << History >>

RTM was originally conceived as a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) to allow regular maintenance tasks to be scheduled and allow facilities to submit ad-hoc maintenance tasks.

What do I have to make this real time or to be able to force refresh? This is the only thing missing for me to give 5 stars. The Calendar management on this add-on is unique to any other task management app I've used (except g-ques).
